hastur420's argument is pretty poor. Someone's complete record in the hardest tournament means little. He performed very well in two GSLs (ro8) and did very well in Korean-packed MLGs. Obviously, his greatest results are all from a year ago, but he was undeniably skilled. I would say that Naniwa was more skilled than Stephano at their peaks, but skill doesn't translate into results perfectly. It's also obvious that Stephano has more results.


you're calling my argument poor

then your train of thought is: "there is more evidence that x is better than y, but i would say that y is better"

you shouldn't make an opinion about arguments, ever.


Jeez guy, ease off the gas. I'm starting to get the image of you frothing at your keyboard. You don't like naniwa, we get it.

Also just some random trivia for everyone: Back in Brood War Flash was known for quite a while as the "Cheddar Terran" for his propensity to cheese, and he also had quite the stint where he would just go 14cc blind every game. So to complain about cheese being used against him seems a little funny to me. He sure got naniwa back in game 7 though.

On topic though, I'll throw my guess out for axiom/acer. Naniwa has spoken before about how he hated the language barrier and how lonely it made him feel to be surrounded by Koreans. The Ax/Acer house has guys who at least speak some english, Scarlett, and the fact that Ax is owned/operated by the Bains could give him that western cushion he needs to feel comfortable in Korea. That being said, I really don't follow the scene much so this is pretty blind guessing on the info I've seen.


yeah, guy. you managed to make an absolutely senseless deduction about steph/naniwa and because of that i am frothing in front of the keyboard. this logic will get you far in life.

The fact that you've resorted to personal attacks after creating an off-topic sensationalist post about hating on a veteran player incessantly (that's a good 2-3 commandments broken) just shows that we need more modding on this thread :/


what personal attacks, you special kid? calling you a naniwa fan is a personal attack now? also naniwa i am not hating on naniwa, i like to watch him play. you rabid fanboys think that realism is hating. the difference between you and me is that i am able to see clearly because i have no special feelings towards the guy. none of what i wrote was hate, they were all well based statements.

you on the other hand have absolutely 0 real argument, so you go on to fabricate yourself some kind validity to attack me, trying to imply that i should be modded. can't defend yourself so you cry and run to mommy?



Debating whether it's worth it to respond.
Probably not.

it's not a fight, he disagrees but has no evidence, he responds by running to mods because he has to stab back somehow, this behavior is as old as the forums. why is it that i am able to admit that my favorite player is not the most special player and some people can't? it's not that hard.

To be fair, he just answered a question during an interview. I doubt he would have "announced the announcement" if they hadn't asked him anything about his team.

Really great contribution to the thread here, thanks bro.
Naniwa has done a lot to improve his attitude over the past year, and he left Quantic on good terms.

Because it isn´t announced yet i think the chances of LiquidNaniwa are growing (small but growing). TL.net is a news side at the first look and they would not want the wcs/blizzard announcement overshadowing their new player.

Doubtful, although I wouldn't mind. For EG-TL he would be a good addition since when he does practice he is definitly not a pushover. And TL is kinda light on Protoss players now. They have Hero, but that's kinda it.
